Hi, What does the last sentence mean, please?a) Action that changes who we are and what we believe IS worth doing.b) Action changes who we are. And what we believe is worth doing.Which one?

To begin thinking like lead-ers, we must ﬁrst act: plunge ourselves into new proj-ects and activities, interact with very different kinds of people, and experiment with new ways of getting things done. Especially in times of transitionand uncertainty, thinking and introspection should follow experience—not vice versa. Action changes who we are and what we believe is worth doing.

It is the people who they are apologising to who have to show forbearance!

In financial terms it means not requiring payment yet - holding back demands for payment.So here it means 'making reparations' I guess.

But this is talking about personal interactions - that meaning g really seems out if place here. In the common meaning of human interaction, it is the delayed customers who need to show forbearance by not getting angry with the service staff!

When an apology was delivered by a CEO who looked sad, the company's stock price rose after the apology, the researchers found. "A good apology can build investor confidence," the study authors wrote, especially in the long run.

In a follow-up experiment, Drs. ten Brinke and Adams hired an actor to portray an airline CEO apologizing for a computer malfunction that resulted in the cancellation of 140 flights, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. The fictional apology contained all the verbal elements of a complete apology, as determined by previous research (an explicit "I'm sorry," an offer of repair, an explanation, taking responsibility and a promise of forbearance).

Test subjects watched the fictional CEO apologize, either happily, sadly or neutrally. Study participants rated the sad CEO as more sincere, and were more likely to want to reconcile with him, according to the report. In contrast, when the actor delivered the apology with a smile on his face, study participants were less likely to trust him, and the apology seemed to even intensify their negative feelings about the situation.

Punctuation seems to be a subject not many learners give importance to. Learning to "read" punctuation is necessary to an understanding of written English.

There is no full stop after the bold words - there is a dash. A dash tells us there is more to come - an explanation.(Do you see what I mean?)A dash doesn't STOP a sentence - it gives the explanatory part of the SAME sentence. So he gave the words in bold and then explained them. He gave the reason he said it; which was because "...we need to be more concerned ...."

What is the logical connection between the blue and red parts? At the same time, many worry that our jobsgive us dignity, social status, and structure — that we need to be moreconcerned with how we will entertain ourselves and what we’ll create,possibly through academic or creative endeavors, than with merelyproviding income.

My suggestion is: "Many worry that we try to get dignity, etc. through our jobs and that's not healthy. They argue that we need to be more concerned with..."

Hi all,I don't understand why "worry" is used in the bold part. Do they suggest we should find dignity and social status not through our jobs?Should we find other ways?

QUOTE:We are part of a collective intelligence. As our machines continue tointegrate into our networks and our society, they become an extensionof our intelligence — bringing us into an extended intelligence.Some of the Singularitarians believe that it won’t be long before AI is good enough to put many humans out of work. This may be true, especially in the shortrun. However, others argue that the increase in productivity will allowus to create a universal basic income to support the people made redundantby the machines.
